The plywood is 1 in. thick and 12 in. wide; the flanges are 2 in. × 4 in. (nominal size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,800,000 psi and for the pine is 1,400,000 psi. If the allowable stresses are 2000 psi for the plywood and 1750 psi for the pine, find the allowable bending moment Mmaxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis. Repeat part (a) if the beam is now bent about its y-axis.arrow_forwardTwo wood beams, each of rectangular cross section (3.0 in. x 4.0 in., actual dimensions), are glued together to form a solid beam with dimensions 6.0 in. x 4.0 in. (sec figure). The beam is simply supported with a span of S ft. What is the maximum moment Mmaxthat may be applied at the left support if the allowable shear stress in the glued joint is 200 psi? (Include the effects of the beams own weight, assuming that the wood weighs 35 lb/ft3.) Repeat part (a) if Mmaxis based on allowable bending stress of 2500 psi.arrow_forward-14 A simply supported composite beam with a 3.6 m span supports a triangularly distributed load of peak intensity q0at mid-span (see figure part a). The beam is constructed of two wood joists, each 50 mm x 280 mm, fastened to two steel plates, one of dimensions 6 mm × 80 mm and the lower plate of dimensions 6 mm x 120mm (see figure part b). The modulus of elasticity for the wood is 11 GPa and for the steel is 210 GPa. If the allowable stresses are 7 MPa for the wood and 120 MPa for the steel, find the allowable peak load intensity q0maxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis.

For purposes of design, assume that a uniform floor load of 7.5 kPa acts over the chesses. (This load includes an allowance for the weights of the chesses and balks.) Also, assume that the chesses are 2.5 m long and that the balks are simply supported with a span of 3.0 m. The allowable bending stress in the wood is 15 MPa.
